Yet another death in the family this week, again in Chad’s family, so not fair. Chad’s cousin, Justin, from Wiggins, suddenly passed away during surgery at the young age of 37 and left behind a wife and 2 boys, 16 mo. & 5 months. It was such a rough week for all of us. The funeral was held on Friday at Wiggins High School gym, such a tear jerker, but beautiful celebration of his life. I obviously didn’t know him as well as Chad did, but from the service, I really wish I would have know him better. God gained yet another angel. As one leaves us, we received another gift from heaven. Our neighbor friends had a beautiful baby GIRL, Lily Noelle, Saturday morning! We went to visit them that evening, what an awesome addition to our neighborhood and daycare (in 3 months!)
Here is Justin's obituary:
